From f08f1c6492604c4d0b392ff1dd7710d81a906cf9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2019 17:48:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] chattr.1: clarify that ext4 doesn't support tail-merging either This old text was never updated to mention ext4 in addition to ext2 and ext3. Do so now. Also don't bother to mention old unmerged patches.
